Contemporary Jazz recommendations?


I have been listening to many different jazz artists, but just can't seem to find any that interest me. Until yesterday, I found a band call Down To The Bone. They are a considered a contemporary jazz band. I really liked and this being very new to me was hoping maybe someone out here could recommend some other contemporary jazz bands that might be worth checking out.
I would really appreciate it.

Thanks very much!

Go with the above along with Four80east "Nocturnal" cd. What Down to the Bone disk did you hear? I would guess Crazy Vibes or Urban Grooves? Take an ear to Larry Carlton's "Saphire Blue" cd. It kind of reminds me a little of his Crusader days. Check out the Crusaders also. There last cd "Rural Renewal" and "Healing the Wounds" are a good start. Check out Amazon or go to Barnes and Noble for samples.
